Whether you are of German heritage or are someone who loves all things Deutsch, we want to hear from you!

Send us a brief example of a time you enjoyed engaging with Germany in some way, and we’ll publish the best contributions on our blog during the campaign!

Stories could highlight a funny intercultural experience when studying or living in Germany, or detail your interaction with German festivals (like Oktoberfest) and people in the United States. You could also write about what you learned from a business trip, or speak to your experience as an American service member stationed at a military base in Germany.

These are ideas to get you started, but the sky is the limit! Be as creative as you want, and share with us your first-hand experience of the German-American friendship in action! **

Please use discretion when sharing, and be mindful of the larger audience reading your article. Write something that even your Oma would want to read. ☺
